Martin John Stout

Martin John Stout, age 35, of Marne, was welcomed into his Savior’s arms on July 5, 2025, with his fiancée and soulmate, Krystal, by his side after a courageous 2½-year battle with cancer. Marty faced his journey with strength, faith, and the unwavering support of Krystal, who never left his side.

He was joyfully received into heaven by both of his grandfathers and a dear cousin.

Marty is lovingly remembered by his devoted parents, Mike and Mary (Zietse) Stout; his beloved brother, Matt (Samantha) Stout; and his treasured nieces, Evelynne and Micah Stout. He also leaves behind his dear grandmothers, Alida Stout and Evelyn Zietse, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends whose lives were deeply touched by his warmth, humor, and kindness.

An avid golfer and lover of the outdoors, Marty approached life with energy and enthusiasm. Whether he was tinkering with machines, playing with his dog, or engaging in meaningful conversation, he poured his heart into everything he did. He was known for his mischievous smile, infectious laugh, and his gift for seeing the best in others.

He will be remembered not only for the love he gave but for the intense courage with which he lived.

Cremation has taken place. Relatives and friends may meet the family Saturday, July 19, 2025 from 10:00 to 11:00 A.M. at Christ Memorial Church, 595 Graafschap Rd, Holland, MI 49423.
